I think I went through puberty really late in life or something. I always looked like a little, sad Thai boy up until I was 26.

Children can write poetry and then, unless they're poets, they stop when reach puberty.

Comedy helped me out in my teenage years. It saw me through puberty and helped me to deal with dating.

Something went klunk. Like a nickel dropping in a soda machine. One of those small insights that explains everything. This was puberty for these boys. Adolescence. The first date, the first kiss, the first chance to hold hands with someone special. Delayed, postponed, a decade's worth of longing--while everybody around you celebrates life, you pretend, suppress, inhibit, deprive yourself of you own joy--but finally ultimately, eventually, you find a place where you can have a taste of everything denied.

Everyone is born creative; everyone is given a box of crayons in kindergarten. Then when you hit puberty they take the crayons away and replace them with dry, uninspiring books on algebra, history, etc. Being suddenly hit years later with the 'creative bug' is just a wee voice telling you, 'I'd like my crayons back, please.

I remember when I was a little kid I was good at sports and I could jump off the high board. And then puberty hit and suddenly I was looking to boys for direction. I remember that as a great loss.
